Hello, My name is Mark Tudose and few years ago I have start "Art & Crafts" in Sighisoara. At first I have made a local artist gallery with handmade products around Sighisoara. I do the wood part in the gallery. In time we developed more opening a museum section for our gallery with pieces made of wood about 50 years ago. This year is for the first time when we will open this museum part for our customers. So, feel free to visit us and let me know your opinion. I really think that the only way for a craft it comes with the story behind. I hope you will like our stories.

This souvenir shop in the historical center has various products made by local craftsmen: from wooden carved spoons and hand painted Christian icons to handmade magnets showing the most iconic attractions of the city. The owner is very polite and hospitable, even gives more details about the products and the stories behind them.

A small museum with 8 rooms that cover everything about the religious and social history of the region. There is also a library and a coffee bar to enjoy after the visit. Great choice if you have 40 minutes to find more about the history of Sibiu!

The museum is practically a time-machine that will enable you to experience, first-hand, the living conditions of a normal working class family in communist times. Therefore in order to be able to understand what it meant to live in a communist country we encourage you to book an over-night stay.

Surreal, accurate snapshot of our childhood homes. Every detail, piece of furniture, magazine, carpet or bibelou trigger powerful memories. For everyone else a powerful inaight into how life was lived indoors in communism. Well worth a detour from central Brasov.

The museum has a wide gallery where it hosts interesting temporary exhibition that incorporate an outlook of modern times through technology or contemporary subjects. For example, Celest - an exhibition that is on until July 13th 2017, that is about the exploration of space. Interesting for anybody who likes to play, regardless of age.

The city leadership, at the beginning of the twentieth century, decided to build a new city center, and chose that the three buildings to be built be made in the Art Nouveau style. It was possible to build only two of them - the Cultural Palace and the City Hall (currently the Prefecture) and the Theater was not built. The architecture of the Palace of Culture is absolutely superb, made with great attention to every detail, and is in a perfect state of preservation. I did not have time to visit it inside, the cost of a ticket (approx. 3 Euro) being practically symbolic. If you have time, visit it during the day, to admire its architecture, but also at night, when the building is artistic iluminated
